Title: A method of controlling the operation of an air charging system of an internal combustion engine
Inventor: CONTE GIUSEPPE
IPC: F02D41/00
Filed: 2014-05-27
Abstract: Controlling the operation of an air charging system for an internal combustion engine involves a multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) method. The method involves calculating an error between a target value and a plurality of output parameters and applying these errors to a linear controller 605, 610 and 615 to obtain a virtual input. These virtual inputs are then used to calculate a plurality of input parameters, which are then used to determine the position of a corresponding actuator in the air charging system. The input parameters are calculated using a non-linear mathematical model 620 such that each of the virtual inputs is in a linear relation with only one of the output parameters and vice versa. The air charging system may also comprise a turbocharger or a supercharger.

Title: Flow detection device
Inventor: SAMUEL BAILEY
IPC: G01P13/00
Filed: 2015-01-07
Abstract: A fluid flow detector 10 for a pipe 12, the detector having a first temperature sensor (20, Fig. 4) detecting ambient temperature around the pipe, a second temperature sensor 16 adjacent or in thermal contact with a pipe, and a processor (40, Fig. 4) determining a temperature difference between the two sensors. If the temperature difference is below a predetermined threshold for a predetermined time period, the processor determines that no fluid is flowing in the pipe. The zero flow condition may be a temperature difference of less than 1, 0.5, 0.3 or 0.1 degrees Celsius for at least 1 hour. The detector may generate a wireless alarm signal if the temperature difference falls outside predetermined parameters. There may be an electronic control unit (ECU) (40, Fig. 4) having a set of predetermined conditions and values. The ECU may restart the time period if the temperature difference suddenly changes. If the temperature difference tends to zero the ECU may indicate there is no flow. The detector may rank a water leak rate according to the temperature difference and thus indicate the severity of the leak.
